A. As long as your baby is feeding normally and gaining weight (1 to 2 pounds a month), don't worry about the number of poops. Some babies 2 months or older poop once a day or more often. Other babies poop once every few days or even once a week.Until about 6 weeks of age, most babies pass stool two to five times per day. Some babies have a bowel movement after every meal. Between 6 weeks and 3 months of age, the frequency of pooping typically decreases. Many babies poop only once a day and some as infrequently as once a week.

A. As a general guideline, expect your breastfed newborn to poop after almost every feeding, usually five-12 times per day. After a few weeks, however, baby poop frequency will dwindle to three-four times per day. Babies older than 6 weeks may poop even less often — maybe even once a week.
